- Valerie's Formula for Strawberry Tapioca:
YOU MAY USE THIS FORMULA FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE HOWEVER THE FORMULA MAY NOT BE SOLD OR PRESENTED AS YOUR OWN!
Always be sure to put through a Soap Calc first.
In this formula I used 38% Lye liquid and Super Fatted at 7%.
Sodium lactate was at 5% and added at room temp/warm when yogurt was added after cook.
This is a 2lb soap batch.
2 tbsp. of yogurt added after cook at room temperature.
2tbsp sugar mixed with 2 tbsp. water added hot after cook.
1oz of Apple cider Vinegar added hot after cook and 1tbsp maple syrup added hot after cook.
1.5tsp of tapioca powder mixed with 2tsp water and added room temperature after cook.
The oils and butters are as follows:
5% Almond Oil,
7% Avocado butter,
9% Canola oil,
13% Castor oil,
13% Coconut oil 76degree,
5% Kokum butter,
19% Olive oil,
3% Palm Kernel Oil Flakes,
11% Palm oil,
3% Stearic Acid,
12% Beef Tallow.
I used 4 ounces of water and 1.25 ounces of Aloe Vera juice for my lye liquid along with 1tsp fine sea salt, mixed very well before I added my lye.
I used 5 ounces of coconut milk (3 ounce hot in the cook and 2 ounces hot after vaseline stage)
When my oils and butters were hot I added my 1 ounce of cooked strained oatmeal and 2 tsp of kaolin clay and stick blend well.
When my oils were around 195 degrees F,
I added my lye to the lye liquid and stirred well and let set until the lye liquid was around 181-183 and my oils were at 178F,
I then added the lye to the oils and did a little SB then added the 3 ounces of hot coconut milk.
Came to thick trace real quick.
I covered with plastic wrap and in 2minutes 30 seconds it started to volcano, I whisked it down and recovered and waited 3 minutes. Whisked it down and recovered another 3 minutes, it was at thick Vaseline stage.
I added the hot sugar water, apple cider vinegar and 2 ounces of coconut milk,
Waited 1 minutes and added Sodium lactate, yogurt andmaple syrup.
Checked pH and it was a 10.
Recovered for 5 minutes and then added the tapioca and FO. Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting.

Hello of course I'm watching another one of your videos. I have watched about a thousand videos of many different soapers but when I found you I am watching only your videos. You are amazing,you are gentle and kind and what a teacher you are.
Hey LInda, you are very kind and thoughtful, thank you so very much, i'm so very glad you like them and that they help! big hugs to you across the miles
Don't worry about your videos boring folks. It is the nature of the beast and we learn so much from you and understand somethings just can't be fast forwarded. Your soaps are very nice.
Hello First Sun, thank you for watching and thank you ever so much for those kind words, I truly appreciate them and the encouragement, big hugs!
I’ve never seen HP soap that’s creamy enough to do any sort of designs and multi colors. This one is wonderful!!
hello Ashley, thank you for stopping by and thank you so very kindly for those positive words...most of my HP, is manageable to do designs and ive done designs even with thick HP, but it doesnt matter at what temp you cook, or what method you use to cook, just saving some liquid for after the cook and adding hot really helps... i've give tips and hints with most of my videos on HP to make it more manageable, hope you get a chance to check them out, have a super day!
I'm a beginner soap maker I love Hot process soap. Your video is awesome I love how you gave us the time the temperatures. Your method. Please continue to make more videos like this for us beginners
Hello Khadijah White, and thank you for watching and for your kind words. You are most welcome for any help given!
I’m impressed with your pouring! And tell your hubby he’s a keeper. Helping all the way through!
Hello dear Sarah Conklin ! thank you so much for your kind words and yes , I am very blessed to have him for sure, big hugs
I did not think that I would ever see a hp soap that I would consider until this one. I cannot wait to try this one!
Hello SMJ SMJ and thank you for watching and thank you so much for such a generous compliment, very kind and I appreciate it! Not all turn out lovely , but the main thing for me is to make a soap that is non-drying or itching and more conditioning! thank you again
May I just say that you're so amazingly nice for sharing your whole recipes, techniques and you literally answer every comment on your videos! Thank you so much!
Hello Hon "Honey" F, thank you for watching and how very kind and encouraging you are, I appreciate it, thank you! And, You are most welcome, big hugs
You have completely changed my awareness of HP. I think I’m a convert! I never knew you could be so creative with it, I always thought it was a ‘ plonk it in quick before it sets’ method😂. Thank you, Cath.
Valerie, this is the prettiest soap that I have seen yet! I have seen a lot of piping etc., but for a plain pouring into the mold soap, this is the best looking bars I have ever seen. They are beautifully colored. I love them and I can't even smell or touch them lol.
Dear sheba121106, thank you for watching and thank you ever so much for those very kind and generous words, I really appreciate them! big hugs
you prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Rocco Declan Instablaster =)
@Josue Finn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Josue Finn It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
Valerie, I really enjoy your videos. I appreciate that you don't play music during the down time. I would rather hear you talking even if it's about the view out your window. I also like seeing the entire process it's very helpful to see all the stages and how you handle things as they occur. Thank you for the time it takes to do this for all of us!
Hello Vicki! thank you ever so much for those very generous, kind and encouraging words, I truly appreciate them, and big hugs to you across the miles. I'm so very happy that they can help in any way, and I know sometimes it takes awhile to watch, but I had been asked to show how I do things, and I wanted them to be as easy to understand as I could make them....I see in some of them I have said things the wrong way, so i'm hoping that it all works out, thank you again, and i'm no soaping celebrity , but just wanting to help out and share, what I've learned along the way, and i'm still learning and hope to continue to do so. Once again thank you !
I'm blown away by your hot process. Having and still enjoying your amazing soaps it is a pleasure to see your how you do it. I enjoyed your explanation along the way as well. Yes, could see the soap form on bowl bottom at 8;12 in your vid before you stirred. Been soaping almost 2 decades and never seen hp(even my own) look as flawless & seamless as this. I'm so glad you are now on youtube I was subscriber #57 woohoo. Soap on Sister! Kudos to Hubby assisting so well.
Hey dear soaping friend, thank you ever so much, so very very kind of you and big hugs to you. My hubby says thank you as well. I've learned from a lot of soapers and I've learned from you , and you have inspired me. Helping sharing and encouraging, just a great thing to do in any walk of life! Thank you so very much!
Dear Valery!
As a great follower of Hot Process, I like your system to do it, unlike the conventional process, which is longer and tedious and often boring because it does not allow drawings or combinations of colors as the Fluid Hot process.
I love your channel, is so straightforward and well explained. You comunicate from the heart and this is soooo uncommon nowadays.... that most of the contemporary human beings just move for "extra economical profits" beyond a salary to live.
Your generosity in sharing your formulas and the enterly process makes it so easy to attempt that I am sure you help lots of people with your videos, as well as me.
Your loving way of sharing your works and experiences live , with this sweet sense of humor when the process doesn't go as planned, captivates me. And of course always with your "honey" close to you. Sooo tender.
For all that and more, my dear Valery, CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for your generosity.
Warm regards from Barcelona SPAIN
Yours,
MARILÚ
Dear Airefresc Bcn, thank you for watching and thank you ever so much for those very generous, caring, kind and supportive words, I truly appreciate them from my heart. I'm so glad you enjoy them and that they can help in any way at all. You can get manageable batter , I have found, with any HP method at all, for example, you can get manageable batter with low temp, high temp, in the microwave, in the oven, on top of the stove, in a crock pot and so on, just need to keep it moist, don't over cook it and save some liquid for the end, add yogurt (I started doing the yogurt in all my HP soaps about 3 years ago) and the yogurt truly helps, sodium lactate goes so very well too! My hubby thanks you as well and sending big hugs to you across all the many miles to you in Spain! Thank you again so very much! It was such a pleasure to read your post! :-)
I'm loving your videos Valerie. It's definitely the way to go with hp soap. I can watch them many times over. Please keep them coming. Love to see your hubby helping.
Thank you so much for watching and thank you so kindly for those words of encouragement!
I've never seen hot process soap done like that before. Truly amazing! Thank you so very much for sharing.
Hello Renee Bryant and thank you so very much for watching and your kind words and you are most welcome!
You are the most amazing soaper I've watched yet!
You are very generous and I thank you. Have a very blessed day.
thank you for making such informative and pleasing to watch videos, we owe you Valerie, I can watch your soaping for hours, I love it, hugs from Florida
Hey Michi Mastropiero! Thank you so much for those lovely kind generous words, I really appreciate them and thank you for watching .... big warm hugs to you from Nova Scotia. Truly my pleasure and really I love to share and help others as I've been helped !
I have never seen soap made this way. And so many additives! My gosh!
Hello Caroline, thank you so kindly I appreciate it!

The swirl turned out beautifully! I have a tropical FO that I can't wait to use. I think I will try for something similar with the colors changed up a little. Thank you for the inspiration!
Out of curiosity, what do you call this soaping method? Is is considered hot process? I make cold process and have been considering other methods, so I'd like to learn more. Any information is appreciated. Thanks! ( :
Thank you! yes, this is HP done with high temperatures, so that it cooks itself really. You can do this in a crock pot, or on top of the stove, or in the oven or in the microwave... my normal way of doing high temperature HP is in a crock where I use the oils and lye at high temperaturs and have the crock on warm, then when it hits Vaseline stage I shut the crock off or even take it out of the crock pot. You do not have to cook at high temperatures to get "Manageable" hot process soap, you can cook on lower temps and I would encourage anyone starting out with HP to use low temperatures, I have a low temperature HP for beginners and it is called "Pink Lemonade" and I give the formula for it as well, not sure if you would have seen it or not, but it can help give you a better idea on Hot process and there is another video I have on "Low Temperature" hot process that has a simple formula as well and it goes through the different stages of HP. I still do CP as well, but HP is for sure my favorite. I hope you enjoy and do try HP and experiment and see what you like and how you like to do it. There are a few ways and i'm still learning even though it's been 5 years and I learn from new and old alike. Thank you again for your questions and interest.
@@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907
Thank you for your reply and your time. I will definitely check out the pink lemonade video ( :
Your soaps are among the most beautiful! absolutely stunning! I'm in love...😍 Thank you so much for sharing,
Thank you so very much Gina and thank you for watching. You are very welcome!
Detailed presentation... although we make cold process it is always enjoyable to watch other styles and your results are exquisite. Thank you for sharing!
Hello AnoushBotanical and thank you for watching and thank you ever so much for those very kind words, I appreciate it!
Wow I watched beginning to the end. I’m glad I did! the process was worth it the time you took to explain step by step thank you I learned little each time. Well done.
hello Tonya, thank you for stopping by and thank you ever so kindly for those encouraging words. I'm truly blessed to know they were of any help, have great enjoyment making soap!
Thank you for all your hp demos, so helpful and interesting. Starting to make my own hp now, have learned so much about the process from you. Thanks for the work it took to make these videos. Love the creative process of soap! Wildheart Soaps, still evolving!
Hello Shelley Harris, thank you for watching and thank you for those kind words, so glad you enjoyed the videos and that they've helped in any way, and you are most welcome indeed! Yes, I love the creative process too, love making soap, and love using my soap, lol, it' wonderful! Wildheart soaps is a lovely name!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I never knew you could do so much design with hot process. The method you used is very interesting - I am planning to try the hot process and it's the first time I have seen your method. I like it because the soap is so fluid which allows for creating swirls. Very well presented.
Hello Claudette Phillip and thank you for watching and for your kind comments. I have a few youtube videos on here and this one is high temperature HP, but I have a couple that are low temperature HP and they are done in a crock pot, sometimes in the Electronic part and sometimes out of it. They all have about the same type of tips , but I've swirled some real thick batter, and very few of my soaps are this fluid. What I like to get is a "manageable" batter :-), and remember the most important thing is that your formula is good for your skin i.e. non-drying and conditioning. big hugs
This is soap is just beautiful!! Colors and swirls! I love! Thanks for sharing your process!
Hello Stephanie Reyes and thank you for watching. Thank you for the generous compliment, I appreciate it and you are most welcome.
Love watching you! I've never seen HP done without a crockpot. Great to know you can do it this way. Love too how it volcanoes up so fast! Just shows you to never walk away from your soap.
Hey there Lost control! so glad you enjoyed the videos and so glad they can help, inform, encourage in any way. Yes, even when doing low temps, you never know, so always watch the batter, lol
Valerie!!! My hero! I am so glad to see you here. Congratulations on your wonderful video, and thank you so much for sharing your craft.
Hello dear Christy!!!! thank you ever so much for watching, I really appreciate you and my pleasure if I can help in any way! Big hugs
Absolutely stunning! Loved that your husband was helping you (him whispering in the background was cute too; made me smile). Great video and not boring at all; thank you for sharing your process and in such detail.
Thank you ever so much Stacie, really appreciate it. My husband is truly a big help and he tries to keep me on track lol. My pleasure to help any way I can, have a blessed day.
Nice! Hot process without a pot! Didn’t know it was possible. It looks easy, will try a small batch next time
Hello nogardsiete! thank you for stopping by and it is easy peasy and you can do it the same way in a crock pot, or microwave or oven or on top of stove too -- just need higher heat! Enjoy!
it turned out beautifully! I can hardly wait to try this method. Thank you for sharing your recipe and your expertise!
Hello Amy and thank you for watching and you are most welcome!
Wonderful work on this Valerie! I really enjoy watching you work. You're so at home and put viewers at ease. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey dear Tracy, so very kind of you, thank you ever so much. Truly want to help other soapers and share any way I can. Big hugs to you, muchly appreciated from my heart.
Dear Valeri Thank you so much !!! you always sharing and supporting !!! God Bless you forever!!.
Good morning dear Paty Stanfield and thank you so very much for watching and you are so very welcome! God bless you and keep you!
You are a talented lady and thank you so much for your hospitality in sharing your knowledge! People from Nova Scotia are the NICEST people you want to know!!
Hey Lori, thank you so much for watching and those wonderful words of encouragement, I really appreciate it. You are so welcome for any help these videos may give! big hugs
I love your videos. You always make them informative and try to help new soapers with helpful tips. You are a HP soap master. I hope you are doing classes because you'd have standing room only in those soap making classes. 😊. BTW..... that soap looks amazing! Just as smooth and creamy as CP soap does. The work of a true artist! 😊
hello Maple Flagg and thank you ever so much for all of those encouraging, generous and kind words of support. Big hugs to you. I'm not doing classes, but if anyone wanted to come I'd show them what I know, I try to help when I can and a quite a few soapers will send me questions. Once again thank you and thank you for watching.
Love the colors Valerie. The demonstration of the color layering and swirls are so easy to understand. Looking forward to trying your technique. Thanks for sharing your video and recipe!
Thank you so very much Diane, really appreciate it and thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing! As always, this is absolutely beautiful Valerie!!!
Dear Shelley, thank you for those very kind words, really appreciate them and I do love sharing, big hugs and have a super wonderful day!
Wow! I have never seen this method of HP before. As much as I search on youtube never have I run across this method. It's interesting and you explained what was going on thoughout the entire process. And your recipe was loaded with wonderful goodness. I may try this method to see how it works for me. I HP in the microwave and oven but will give this method a try, and your soap is beautiful. It's always good to have a helper too, so he did a good job as well. Thank you for sharing
Hello honey562012 and thank you for such kind words and for watching. So glad it was able to help or encourage in any way. I've microwaved HP as well, and tried the oven, which I liked too, haven't tried on top of the stove yet, and of course then there is the way our ancestors made it! So many different ways for sure, I still use low temperature, but most of the time high temperature, and I can only do 2lbs in the glass bowl, for 3lb and up I heat it in the crock , then take it out and continue it from there. My hubby is a great helper for sure and I appreciate him very much. You are most welcome!
You are my new favourite soaping channel. Thank you Valerie for sharing your methods. It is always interesting to see soap being made in different ways. I have turned on my notifications for your new videos.~ Vikki ~
Thankyou ever so much, I hope I can help someone by sharing some of the ways I do soap!
I think you are such a lovely person, with a calming voice and spirit. And I don't think you know how talented you are as a teacher! Thank you for making these videos and sharing your insight and creativity so freely.
hello Corrinesummer 11! thank you ever so much for those lovely kind and encouraging words, truly, I appreciate "you"...i'm bless for sure to know they can be of any help or encouragement to others, you are ever so welcome!
Your soap was exquisite! My husband watched the video and he said, your husband sounds like a nice guy 😊. Thank you for your video and your time.

Hey Coast 2 Coast, and thank you so much for watching. yes, my husband is a real nice guy and very helpful to me. So glad you enjoyed the video and my pleasure indeed!
I am so fascinated by this process. I love making cold process soap but I hate the curing wait time. I think over the holiday season I will try my hand at hot process soap. I just found you and I'm happy...
Hello Melanie and thank you so kindly for watching and for your interest! I do both HP and CP, but my favorite and the one I do most is HP! I would just encourage you to read up on it, watch videos, all kinds of soapers HP videos and then try a very simple batch at low temperature and then work your way up! I do have one on here called Pink Lemonade that is a low temp, with less ingredients --- but you already know about soap making, and I know you will do great!
I love how it turned out. It’s elegant. It’s beautiful!
Thank you very much, that is so kind of you Mae Mae! I appreciate it.
Hi Valerie, I made a HTHP soap following your method step by step and I loved it. I will probably make all the soaps this way apart from the melt and pour ones of course. Thank you so much for this video.
I have one question. How long do we cure the soap before using?
Hello Malvika Hayer , thank you for watching and your kind supportive words. I'm so very happy this has helped you out in any way at all. This particular formula had quite a bit of coconut milk in it, so even though it was done at 38%, because of the particular formula, it took about 3 weeks. My soaps are usually ready to sell in 2 weeks, some in 1, but they benefit from 2 - 3 weeks even though you can use right away.
This will be my number 1non cook fluid hp soap so kind of you to share such details in a very simple context. I will try this method for sure i already make hp crock pot fluid soap. Thanks a bunch for sharing keep up the awesome work.
Hello Spin Rash! Thank you ever so much for watching and so glad that it was able to help in any way! And my pleasure for sure!
Lol your in Canada well hello from a fellow Canadian am in Ontario and love to soap, make candles and can't wait to get bath bombs and lotion made cheers.
Hey and big hugs!
Thank you Valerie! I love your videos, they are not boring at all! I hope you will be making more. Your soaps are beautiful
Thank you so very kindly Am PP, really appreciate it. God willing I plan to put more on, we'll see how the soaping goes! big hugs
Hi Valerie, I just found your videos a couple days ago and I want to thank you! I new to soap making and have watched tons and tons of videos. You are about the only one that goes into great detail and actually answers questions asked in comments. You're awesome! And I also love that your husband helps. Mine works out of state and when he's home he helps me and is learning with me as we plan in the next year to move to somewhat of a farm and make a lot of our own products. I do have somewhat of a long question (I have read thru all of the comments...I'm just trying to make sure I'm understanding correctly. Hope you don't mind!) So here goes: total water to lye is suppose to be 12 oz (rounded down from 12.16 just for sake of
math in this post). Lye is 4.3 (rounded up from 4.273). Apple Cider Vingar is added
to lye solution at 1.5 oz of the total 12 oz of water and Aloe Vera Juice is added at 1.25 oz.
So with the Apple Cider Vinegar & Aloe Vera Juice that brings the remaining water amount down to 9.25 and of that 9.25
I would at very least use 5.5 of just water, 1.5 of Apple Cider Vinegar & 1.25 Aloe Vera Juice to dissolve the 4.3 of lye.
For a total of 4.3 Lye to 8.25 of water, Apple Cider Vingear & Aloe Vera Juice.
That would leave 3.75 oz of water to dissolve sugar, tapicoa powder and kaolin clay?
And the glycerin used to dissolve colorants and the 5 oz coconut milk isn't accounted for at all in any of the calculations
correct? If the coconut milk isn't accounted for is that considered the SF?
Did I do the math right? What I'm doing is trying to get the math/calculations right and/or
understood in my mind as to how all this is figured. Good grief I feel like the tiny bit of my understanding
of all this has completely gone out the window. LOL!
Hello Maria A Carroll -- thank you for watching and thank you ever so much for your very kind and generous encouraging words, we appreciate them so very much and i'm so very happy that these videos can help in even small ways! Don't ever worry about asking questions, even though I might not be able to answer them right away, I would try to find the answer for you. How wonderful to be going to your farm and working together for sure! congratulations on that. Okay --- you are so very close with those calculations, except the coconut milk etc. Basically I broke down my lye liquid amount as follows: 38$ lye liquid, 2lb batch for my formula was 12.16 ounces, I rounded mine up to 12.25 oz -- I used 4 ounces water, 1.25 ounces AVJ for my lye amount (lets say it was 4.3 :-)) which is 5.25 take away from 12.25 = 7 ounces of liquid left - I used 5 ounces of coconut milk ( 3 ounces in the cook and 2 ounces after the cook, both added hot) which left 2 ounces of liquid from the 12.25, I used 1 ounce of cooked strained oatmeal (in the cook) and used the last 1 ounce for apple cider vinegar added after the cook. You can change that around any way you like i.e. you can use all water or change the amounts of any of those for sure, just to make sure that you have "at least" the same amount of liquid as lye to put the lye into and make sure if adding salt , to dissolve it "before" you add the lye. Then after the cook, I added the apple cider vinegar (discounted from total liquid), I added 2 tbsp. sugar mixed with 2 tbsp. water (completely dissolved and added heated up), 1tbsp maple syrup mixed with 1 tbsp. water (you could actually mix the sugar and maple syrup together and just add 2 tbsp. water total and totally dissolve, which I think would be better and I do that now), 2tbsp yogurt added at room temp, and 5% sodium lactate (5% of the total OIL amount) and added warm or at room temp after the cook and I do not discount that amount of sodium lactate or the tbsp. of water to mix with sugar or the tapioca and of course the 2tsp of water added to the 1.5 tsp of tapioca powder and you don't have to add that at all. --- i'm hoping this makes more sense then the notes on the video -- not to worry about this formula and all the extras in there especially being new to soaping, you could do this formula without all the extras, or just use 10 ounces of water for the lye and 2.25 ounces of coconut milk added after the cook, that would be more simpler for your first time for sure --- the glycerin I use for mixing my colors is really teeny tiny amount , maybe 1/8 tsp, then 1tsp water and that would mix with 1tsp mica, so you might need more depending on how much mica you used and I don't discount that tiny bit of water for my colors --- the kaolin clay I put into my heated oils and stick blend before adding the lye liquid, I do not mix the kaolin clay with any liquid at all --- when adding milk to the heated oils, i'll have it ready heated on the stove, and as soon as my lye liquid goes in and I stick blend a couple of spurts i'll add my milk right away and stick blend really well until thick or medium trace. I do have a simpler formula on there under Pink Lemonade , here is the ink to it: ruclips.net/video/XljXuL0TWgU/видео.html and if you like you can email me if you like to discuss further for sure at: valeriemosher@eastlink.ca and I do have a Christian Soapers Any Process on FB if you are interested in joining that as well....please feel free to contact me if you like with any more questions etc. big hugs
I don't know how to thank you Valerie! Tickles me that I was even close LOL! Yes you're explanation made total sense. I'm going to go watch your other video in just a few minutes and I would love to join your FB group. I've added you to my email address book. Thank you also for the encouragement. We are super excited and can't wait to get our home sold so we can start the next chapter of our life! Major hugs to you also!
that is wonderful and so very happy I could help in even a small way Maria!
This is the best HP soap making video I have ever seen. I’ve made cold process soap and I am so tired of waiting for the cure. I never thought HP soap could be so beautiful and smooth. Thank you ever so much for sharing your skills and talent. I am so inspired.
hello A Garrison, thank you for stopping by and thank you ever so humbly for those very generous and kind words, i appreciate them very much... there are quite a few really good HP soapers out there now and some of them make videos as well, Valerie Howell Holdren has a channel and Tina Moenck has a channel as well... i do most of mine now in a crock pot, as it maintains heat and i dont have to heat up my oils and lye so high... you can make smooth HP with lower temps, actually you can make HP with any temp in any method i.e. crock pot, in the oven, in the microwave, in a bowl on top of the stove, it's just saving some of that total liquid to add after the cook (liquid deducted from the original amount and added in milk or whatever you choose and added hot, and using yogurt , sodium lactate, and being quick of course and keeping all utensils warm / heated), so very glad you enjoyed it.
OMG thank you for you quick response love your shows can't wait for more information watch them over all the time yr process is detailed and interesting but most of all enjoyable to watch. thanks ...
you are most welcome!
Thank you so much for this excellent video! You are most generous for including your entire recipe. Your soaps are beautiful--I need a lot of practice with colors and swirls. I have tried the Stick Blend method and wasn't too thrilled with it. I am definitely going to try your method. It makes a lot more sense to me. Thanks again.
Hello Carla Leeson and thank you for watching and those lovely kind words, I really appreciate them. I've been soaping around 3 1/2 years and I'm still learning and hope I never stop :-) A formula can make a difference in how your batter will be manageable or not as well, how much lye liquid you use and so on, the size even can make a difference. Say you were doing a 1lb of this formula instead of a 2lb, it might take longer to get to Vaseline stage, as it takes longer to heat up (should be the opposite, but I found that's not so). Sometimes if I have a problem that the 1lb isn't working or even a 2lb , you can always pop it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, but keep an eye on it and make sure it's in a big enough bowl so it doesn't overflow. You are most welcome!
It’s nice the way you share your knowledge...thank you
Hello Diana Cassinelli! thank you so very much and you are so very welcome!
your videos are great, thank you very much for sharing your recipes it's very kind of you. I am going to try this one.
Hello Mandy Hayes, thank you for watching and for the kind words. You are most welcome!
So glad you did a video, I have seen your soaps posted in groups and love your beautiful designs.
Hey Janet Marsters! Thank you so very much for watching. I truly appreciate your kind generous words. I hope to put up a few more when I get the time.
That's a gorgeous soap Valerie! I love how your soap stays fluid even when you put the very last colors on top. Lovely colors combos too!
Hey Stephanie, thank you so very much. Those colors "are" lovely, and they came from Steph's Micas!!! Thank you for watching and for carrying such wonderful micas!
Wow, you are amazing!! Have never seen colors and patterning like that with hp. Only been soaping (cp) for about six months, but I recognize your experience and expertise. Wonderful!
hello Miss K Fountain and thank you ever so much for those very kind words, i truly appreciate it...for sure, anyone can do this, i've been soaping now for over 6 years...sometimes it can take abit to get things under your apron so to speak, but with tips etc, you can do this, thank you again!
The most beautiful hp soap I've ever ever seen! You rock!! Love it and thanks for sharing! I am more attracted to a natural look and colored bar... but I'll have to try this. Again... awesome job 😍😍😍
Hey Wendy Jones and thank you for watching and for the very kind words, I appreciate them! You can do this for sure and use natural colorants with no problem at all, I've done a few and I've a few videos with natural colorants and only EO's too! big hugs
Excellent video Valerie! Beautiful soap!
Hello Willow and thank you so very kindly for those words, big hugs
I love the way this process produced such a smooth creamy bar! Thank you for sharing! I learned new things today!
Hello Shirley Story! thank you ever so kindly for those words and i'm so glad you've enjoyed it and it has helped in any way!
This videos not boring @ all. Enjoyed watching!!! Thank you
thank you so very kindly Vel Mar!
Just watched your video and it was great! The finished bars were beautiful! I live in the Yukon so nice to watch a fellow Canadian.
Hello 68dillpickle and thank you for watching and big hugs to you my fellow Canuck! Thank you for those kind words as well, much appreciated.
Wow what a fantastic tutorial ... this is going to be my go too process for my HP no more crockpot that dries out my batter ... thank you so much for sharing you will be blessed a hundres times over for your generousity ...God bless you 😊
Good morning Blanca Davila and thank you for watching. Thank you so much for your kind comment. You can also use your crock pot to heat your oils to the desired temperature and then take the crock out of the electronic part, add your heated lye liquid and it will work just like the glass bowl, But you have to be careful as the crock will still be warm and depending on your lye and oil temperatures it could volcano faster for sure. I do big batches that way, in my crock.
Howdy from the States. Wonderful instruction and video. I haven't tried making HP yet! Thanks for the tapioca hint. I've always done CP. Another happy subscriber!
Hello Eric H my neighbor in the US! Thank you so much for watching and for those kind words! I do CP, but my favorite is HP. So many different ways to make soap indeed. Love using high temperature HP but I also like using low temperature HP, then there is the microwave HP, in the oven, on the stove top! and our ancestors would have used a fire pit with a big cauldron?! Yes, the tapioca came about by accident really, but I do use it often, not in every soap as I did find it can turn the soap a bit of off white color, but if your coloring , should be fine. Thank you again!
Hi haven't seen any new videos from you. I hope all is well. I really miss seeing your creativity and learning from you.🏵️
Thank you for posting this video. I have been facinated by how soap is made since I saw it made over a fire in a cast iron pot at Stone Mountain Georgia. I have not made any yet, just soaking up the knowledge of videos like yours on RUclips. Thank you also for your recipe ! Most soapers are like, I'm not gonna share my "secret recipe". For me the recipe helps me to understand the percentages of fat to lye ratio and how it all works together. I see too that you are so generous with the time you take to answer all the questions that people ask. I know that I will also have plenty of questions and it gives me joy that I know you will be there to answer them. You have been blessed with a gift, you have turned something that you love doing into a business that can help support your family. Hopefully after the first of the year I'll get my courage up and take a swing at it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ✌🏻❤
Dear Dianne Naworensky - thank you ever so much for stopping by and thank you so very humbly for those encouraging kind and very thoughtful words, from my heart I appreciate them! I have learned a lot from research, reading, watching, and from new soapers and experienced soapers and I too am still learning all the time....I love to share and help, encourage others if I can, so you are so very welcome indeed! My soaping wasn't meant to be a business at all, just for me and my family and then it was like "2 people told 2 people" etc, and my Lord blessed this soap making and it truly just exploded....now i'm cutting back as it has become overwhelming and my husband has had a lot of health issues this past year and we are still dealing with those, God willing it will all fall into place. I use to buy homemade soap my whole life and always ended up throwing it away as it didn't help my dry skin; then one year we were down in Georgia visiting a friend who had a dog of mine and she made homemade soap, she gave us some and well "WOW"! I literally said "WOW, now this is what homemade soap should be"!!!! and we started the research of making homemade soap and now I've learned that "not all homemade soap is created equal"... I've learned about the dryness of soap or the "cleansing" number of formulas and the conditioning number and so my main objective in making soap is to make it non-drying and more conditioning for the skin - I do have shampoo bars that are low cleansing and low in the conditioning numbers because you don't want grease laying on the hair, but there is soooooooo much and I love using things in creation that God put there for us and so i'll always be learning,... I do have an unscented line, an all natural line, regular, and then some facial bars, shampoo bars ….and I do lip balms and body lotion bars, that's about it right now...but I do enjoy it, and I love using it, and I love sharing with others. Big hugs and I do hope you get a chance to try out the formulas and experiment and love using them as well! big hugs, Merry Christmas
Dianne, how did you get the recipe? Thanks
I enjoyed watching you make this soap! I have never seen it done, this way. Your batter was so smooth! I am not a soaper, but I love watching! 😘😉😚
Hey Susan King and thank you for watching and so glad you enjoyed it!

Hey there Maple Flagg, thank you ever so much for those very supportive and encouraging words and thank you so much for watching and if they help even in a small way, that makes me so happy! Big hugs
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this video. I hope you will show us a couple more done this way ... I love how fluid it stays . Thank you for the recipe as well . I been doing hp for several years love the quality I get. I used my butters after the cook ... Hugs thanks to your sweet hubby ...
Thankyou so very much , I really appreciate your kind words and my hubby says thank you as well. I plan to do a couple of more this way, God willing.
Thank you for sharing your technique ! Your soap turned out beautiful .
Ellen Black, thank you so very kindly for watching and for the lovely compliment! Thank you!
I love this! Thank you so very much for showing everyone this technique, so easy and quick, but your right, have to watch it real close LOL. Thank you also for sharing your recipe with all of us! I LOVE these colors!
Dear Willow, you are so very kind and very generous, thank you so much and it truly is a pleasure to share and help if I can, big hugs to you!
Stunning! Oh it turned out so beautiful and elegant!
Hello Virginia and thank you so very much!
Valerie, I enjoyed this video, thank you so much for sharing it, God bless your work!
Hey AM PP! Thankyou so very much and you are so welcome. Thank you for watching and God is always, truly always so good! Amen!
Beautiful soap ! Very interesting process . I usually make CP soaps. Thank you for sharing
Hello Sherry and thank you for watching and for the compliment, I appreciate it. You are most welcome for any help this turns out to be.
I love this soap! It's gorgeous!!! Thanks for the video, Valerie!
Thank you so very much Mildred, I really appreciate it.
Everything is so neat, clean and organized.
Hello Pat - thank you, i'm so glad it looks like that; as when I've very busy it can look real messy and disorganized , lol, but doing a video it is more pleasant to see the neat for sure --- I always like to have where i'm making clean, as you never know when something may happen and you will have wished you had a clean work space.
Amazing!! So fluid. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Hey Janice, thank you so very much and thank you for watching. You are so very welcome. Have a super wonderful day.
I just love you...you are so amazing and I have learned so much! I make HP soap but have not attempted such a swirl. It is amazing how you made it come out so beautiful. I can tell you knew what you were wanting to accomplish mine are always a stab in the dark :)..thank you so much. You have encouraged me to be more deliberate in my soaping. I have never even thought to add ACV. I have been playing around with soap calc coming up with a new recipe and I decided to up my superfat to 7% and I see that is what you did. My hopes were to get it a bit more conditioning. Was that your purpose or is my thinking off? Well, thank you again and keep them coming.
Hello MaryFrances C and thank you for watching and thank you so much for all those lovely kind words, I truly appreciate them. Makes me so very happy if any of the videos I do can help anyone in any way!. Not all of what I envision comes out as planned for sure, even after 4 years I have disasters in what it looks like, and sometimes they are just not pleasing to look at, BUT, the main thing for me in homemade soap is that it is high conditioning and low Cleansing/low drying... So when I look at a formula and it will depend on whether it is a shampoo bar, body bar, face bar AND/OR what it is made of, but for face and body I love low cleansing and high conditioning, sometimes I SF at 7%, sometimes 8% and sometimes 10%, if it is my ocean brine bar I'll SF at 15%, simply because of the high cleansing number on that formula. I've tried a lot of homemade soap over the years and have never ditched my "oil of olay" lol, until I had a friend of mine from Georgia give me a couple of hers and they were marvelous, super lovely on the skin etc., and so I threw away my Oil of olay and my hubby threw away his irsih spring and I started making my own, --- now I know, for sure, that not all homemade soap is created equal and I can see why some people say it wasn't nice, if only they had known that there is "great" for the skin homemade soap out there for sure! You are most welcome indeed! big hugs
You're the best ! Thanks for sharing, I wish you the best friend
hello! zeezee S.! thank you ever so kindly, I truly appreciate your kind words! -- there are a lot of "best" soapers out there and I'm pretty sure / I know, I still have more to learn, big hugs
I am so intrigued by hot process and that is my next step in soaping. You videos are so helpful.
hello Charlotta Brower thank you for stopping by and the kind words; so glad to know they can be of any help!
@@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907 Would you mind answering a question? I want to start with an oatmeal honey soap and I want to know if I mix the honey with water to add at the end would I discount my water by the amount I mix with the honey?
Hello @@charlottabrower7968 When I mix honey it will depend on which im making, but say im making a 2lb batch of soap and I m adding 2 tbsp. of honey after the cook, ill add about 1-2Tbsp water and i'll mix completely and add it warm when the temp of the batter is under 175F and I do not discount the tbsp. water
@@shalebrookhandcraftedsoap7907 Thank you so much I wasn't sure. I am going to try my first hot processed today. If it works the way I plan I will owe it all to your excellent videos and help.
Hey! take your time, go slow, you will do great -- we all start new and lots of learning curves, things to experience, remember to enjoy! big hugs, it is so exciting
Excellent video! Very nicely done! Thank you! The soap turned out gorgeous!
Thank you so very much Willow, I really appreciate it, so glad I can help anyone in even a small way. Have a blessed day.
You are Amazing and Thank You again. What a great video. so informative. I will also try this method.
Hello Patti, thank you for watching and for the lovely encouragement. You are for sure, most welcome!
Wow Wow Wow. I watched the Christmas Candy (late Christmas eve, not on purpose but totally appropriate, lol.) And then this one. I'm inspired to dig into my pantry and dust off my crock pot. I will have to watch a couple more videos to see just what you're doing with this new to me method.
Merry Christmas
Your swirls BTW are friggen amazing.
lol, that is so very kind of you , thank you so very much Jenny!
Hello Jenny Duncan and thank you so very much, very kind of you and thank you for watching. You have a Blessed Christmas!
It’s so soothing watching you work . I love the authenticity of how you present your art.
Hey there and thank you ever so humbly for those very kind words, i appreciate them and so glad you have enjoyed some of these videos!
Hello from Hatchet Lake, NS!
I enjoyed your video - I've never seen this particular HP technique. You certainly got the fluidity needed for this type of swirl. Amazing. (I'm mostly CP, but always interested in different soaping methods.)
Very generous of you to share your recipe and all the details.
Hello Corinne and thank you for watching. I do CP as well, and I do HP by slow method too, just depends on my formula, and I've done HP in the microwave as well and in the oven. Love HP. Been busy getting ready for Christmas. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for sharing, your soap turned out beautiful.
Please keep making videos, you are very good at it.😃
Thankyou Paper Petunia for watching and I sure appreciate your comment. Hope it was a help in any way at all!
Thank you. Lovely soap and gracious soapmaker!
You are so welcome and You are very kind, thank you LIa!
Hi Valerie ~ waves from Ontario. What a beautiful soap. Simple yet very complicated. Super Duper! Thanks a bundle for a great video.
Hello fellow Canuck! thank you for stopping by and for your very kind words! I appreciate it!
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you very much Lori VA!
Absolutely gorgeous and I love your videos! Very informative and it was really interesting to see a volcano in action. I haven't witnessed that yet, myself, and always imagined the worst. Like, soap exploding from the pot, fast and furious, haha! I feel a bit more at ease about it now so thank you!
Thank you ever so much Olives Gal! Truly appreciate it. I would be really remiss if I didn't say you need to be xtra careful when cooking at high temps. Every formula is different and will work differently. May I suggest starting off with a 1lb batch and "ALWAYS" put in a container where you can be sure you have enough room to stir it down, so when the soap volcanoes and starts to rise you have enough room. And, I would not recommend going over 178F in temperatures, I have found for me personally, the higher the temps and the quicker harder the volcanoes. And always wear proper safety gear. Big hugs
so happy to find you!! and Canadian too!!
Hello there Annie my fellow Canuck and thank you for watching!
Amazing and so beautiful pieces. You are a really artist of soapmaking.

Wow, Antwerp, Belgium, hey there from Nova Scotia, Canada!

Thank you so very kindly Mauiheat!
Hi Valerie! Enjoyed your detailed video that you and your patient husband shared. I'm trying to get as much info on how to add colors to my natural soaps while keeping the soap liquid. Loved the greens. where your colors natural? where did you get them? Thanks Ana
Hello Ana and thank you for those kind encouraging words, we appreciate them. None of the colors in Strawberry Tapioca were natural, they were all micas. I do have a few videos on natural colors though as I make a natural line of soaps as well, you've probably already seen the videos on here. I purchase the botanicals from different companies in Canada, Saffire Blue, New Directions Aromatics... thank you for your question
Beautiful!! I am so excited, I had almost given up on hp. You have inspired me to give it another chance. Thank You sooo much!! I am looking forward to seeing more videos.
Hey Marlene, thank you so very much, so very kind of you. Don't give up, keep trying and and what will work for one person may not for another, there are many different variables, formulas etc. But you will find a way that works perfect for you. Thank you so very kindly.
Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed watching the whole thing. Gives me a better understanding about hot process.
